Selling a Rental Property That Needs Repairs in Marrero, Louisiana

Not every investment property turns out the way an owner originally planned. In Marrero, a local investor purchased an older house with the intention of renovating it and turning it into a rental property. Built sometime in the 1960s or 1970s, the home needed updates, and the owner eventually decided it was no longer a property they wanted to keep.

The house had already been listed for sale with an agent, and the for-sale signs were still in the yard. However, the property struggled to attract buyers. Many people shopping for homes today prefer houses that have already been renovated, which can make it difficult to sell a house as-is on the traditional market.

In this video, Dillon King from Home Buyer Louisiana walks through the property in Marrero and explains how the company helps owners with older homes and selling a rental property without having to complete repairs or updates first.

You can watch the video to see the property and hear more about the situation, or read the video transcript below.

Hey, it’s Dillon King with Home Buyer Louisiana. I am in Marrero today looking at a property. A local investor bought this property and was planning to turn it into a rental. It was probably built in the 1960s or 1970s.

They acquired it thinking they were going to update it and rent it out, but for whatever reason, they decided this is not a property they want to keep. They went to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com and let us know they had this property available.

It still has for-sale signs in the front. They had been trying to sell it with an agent on the market, but it did not move. Most likely, that’s because many homeowners shopping right now are looking for something newer or updated.

It can be difficult to find a buyer for a property that needs work, especially if it is a fixer-upper. Since the property was on the market and did not sell, they reached out to HomeBuyerLouisiana.com. We are going to buy the property quickly with cash, and they will not need to make any updates.
